Such important analysis
Tory prejudice against green energy left us vulnerable to this energy crisis
If we had carried on with onshore wind, insulation and solar we would have been better placed to stand up to Putin
RT @DrSimEvans: To conclude: If UK hadn't "cut the green crap" over the past decade, gas imports would be 13% lower
Remember:

Govt has always uprated benefits in line with inflation
This should not be a debate
Graphic shows most people on universal credit are either already working
Or can’t work because of disability
Cutting their real incomes is hitting the vulnerable to fund tax cuts for wealthy

The opposite of patriotism
The Tories are literally selling our country out

Proud women and they’re right:
Nobody voted for this disaster capitalism or the #AttackOnNature
#GeneralElectionNow
RT @GreenpeaceUK: BREAKING 🚨
Greenpeace activists have interrupted @TrussLiz speech at #CPC22 to denounce the prime minister 'shredding' her party’s 2019 manifesto promises.
The PM is U-turning on fracking, strong climate action, and world-leading environmental protections.
Who voted for this?

🤔 ‘Getting Britain Moving’ seems an odd slogan to use when we’re in the middle of a rail strike

@CitizenErased22 @RachelReevesMP We need to separate responsibility for refugees and immigration from responsibility for crime and policing

@krossiter @RachelReevesMP @TheGreenParty My main point is that it's the duty of the opposition to oppose this far right government rather than on seeking the support of marginal voters in swing seats on these issues

Depressing to see @RachelReevesMP castigating Tories for *not deporting people fast enough*

Cuts in real value of benefits immoral says @GordonBrown
90% of public will be against this
Eloquent as ever in championing of the vulnerable
But it’s @TheGreenParty that proposes a £40 increase in universal credit
And upgrading all benefits in line with inflation

Crucial point
The government will create mythical stereotypes to justify cutting benefits
The reality is that children - and the wonderful parents already struggling to care for them - will be hit hardest

I do believe this woman was momentarily an education minister
The Tories are falling off the edge of sanity into oblivion
